Description

A comforting and healthy dessert featuring tender baked apples stuffed with a sweet and spiced oat filling, perfect for a cozy evening.


Ingredients

Scale

4 medium baking apples (e.g., Honeycrisp, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith)n1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oatsn1/4 cup light brown sugar, packedn1 tsp ground cinnamonn1/4 tsp ground nutmegn2 tbsp unsalted butter, meltedn1/4 cup hot water


Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish that's just large enough to hold your apples snugly.nStep 2: Wash the apples thoroughly. Using an apple corer or a small paring knife, carefully remove the core from each apple, leaving about a 1/2-inch border at the bottom to create a 'cup' for the filling.nStep 3: In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture is well combined and crumbly.nStep 4: Stand the cored apples in the prepared baking dish. Carefully spoon the oat mixture into the hollow center of each apple, pressing it down lightly.nStep 5: Pour 1/4 cup of hot water into the bottom of the baking dish. This helps to steam the apples and prevents them from drying out during baking.nStep 6: Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork but still hold their shape. Baking time can vary depending on the apple variety and size. Halfway through baking, you can baste the apples with the liquid from the bottom of the dish if desired.

Notes

For an extra touch, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce. You can also add chopped nuts or dried fruit to the filling.
